Creed of the heavens

The frightened waterfowl on St. Mark's Square screamed and took off. Only then did the nobles and government officials nearby notice that there was a murder case in the core area of ​​the city.

Chapter 50 The Big Three of the Venetian Brotherhood

San Marco District, Barbarigo House

"Oh!"

With a white beard stretched to his chest, Marco, who looked quite majestic in appearance, hammered his fist heavily on the table.

"Emilio is dead, and Silvio is dead, and now you tell me, you don't even know who attacked them?!"

"What's the use of the Barbarigo family raising your trash!"

Marco, who was gasping for breath, was not just angry, but more frightened.

The enemy hiding in the dark assassinated two core members of the Barbarigo family one after another without anyone noticing. Apart from knowing that the other party might be related to the Thieves Guild, they knew nothing about it.

Marco is not stupid, let alone Emilio who was sniped from a long distance, it is not the first time he has seen the small hole on Silvio's forehead, as early as a few years ago, he and Silvio and others were together It was seen on a fellow Templar assassinated by the Assassins.

Hidden Blade, is it really those damned assassins?

Marco's panic was almost beyond words, but when he saw the strong bodyguard standing behind him, Marco finally calmed down a little.

"Dante, from today onwards, you must follow me closely at all times. Once you find someone approaching without permission, no matter who the other party is, you must kill first and play later!"

Marco called Dante a middle-aged man with a dull expression. It took several seconds for Marco to realize his order, and he nodded stupidly.

"Okay, master."

Marco didn't seem to be worried about Dante's intellectual problems, but was very confident in his protection. After getting Dante's answer, he nodded in satisfaction and returned to the calm demeanor he had shown in the past.

"Everyone, these two assassinations should have been initiated by the Assassins. I have reason to suspect that the Assassins who dealt a heavy blow to the Templars in Florence last year have sent people to sneak into Venice."

"But please don't worry." Marco said with a sneer: "The assassin's rash attack in Venice will definitely arouse the anger of the governor. Let's take this opportunity to let our dear governor use his last energy."

"Carlo."

Marco turned his head to look at an aristocratic official wearing a soft hat. This person's cheeks and figure were relatively thin, and there was a look of anxiety in his eyes.

"You are a member of the ten-member council. I need you to tell Mocenigo the danger of the assassins in a more eloquent manner, and let him initiate martial law among the soldiers in the city."

"I want to see if the group of rats who are used to hiding in the corners of the city can continue to operate under such a high-pressure situation."

Carlo took a deep breath, lowered his head and replied, "I'll try my best, but Mocenigo has his own views on Templars and Assassins, and I don't guarantee that I can convince him."

On the periphery of the core members of the Barbarigo conspiracy group, an honest-looking fat nobleman was dozing off in his chair.

Noticing his unpromising appearance, Marco smiled contemptuously, and took Dante away first, and the others also dispersed after discussing the countermeasures.

It wasn't until the meeting room was empty that the fat man suddenly opened his eyes, silently looking at the direction of Marco's departure, with a complicated look in his eyes

Marco, your blind trust in Dante will one day make you taste the consequences of failure.

Dante does have extremely powerful combat power in a frontal conflict, but that doesn't mean he can defend against the pervasive assassins.

When Lu Xiao returned to the Thieves Guild, Antonio was discussing something with a strong man who seemed to be talking, and a middle-aged beautiful woman who still had charm.

"Lu, come here, let me introduce you."

Antonio waved enthusiastically to Lu Xiao, put his shoulders on his shoulders and pointed to the two companions around him.

"The one who is nervous about his sword is the leader of the Venetian mercenaries, Bartolomeo de Alviano. If you don't care about this guy's fetishism, he is still a relatively easy person to get along with, a powerful man. warriors, leaders with leadership skills.”

"Hey! I hear you!"

Bartolomeo retorted loudly in dissatisfaction: "I am not a fetishist. Bianca is a good partner who has accompanied me in battle for many years. I just cherish my weapons very much!"

Antonio waved his hand noncommittally, ignoring Bartolomeo's protest, bumped into the beautiful woman and continued to introduce to Lu Xiao: "This is the leader of the Venetian courtesan, the boss of La Rose, Teodora Contin Trust."

Teodora smiled coquettishly and bowed to Lu Xiao: "Hello, Lu, I have heard a lot of rumors about you from other fraternity members. Welcome to Venice."

Lu Xiao was a little hard to understand Teodora's nun's dress, but now is not the time to discuss this issue.

After finishing the introduction of the Big Three in Venice, Antonio first expressed his gratitude to Lu Xiao for eliminating the two enemies of the people.

"The death of Silvio and Emilio will deal a serious blow to the power of the Barbarigo family, but as long as Marco is still alive, our plan will not be completely successful."

"I just received a reminder from Agostino, the internal correspondent of the Barbarigo family, that Marco intends to use the governor's hand to impose martial law on the whole city, forcing us out of the corner of the city to fight them head-on."

"Agostino?" Lu Xiao asked in surprise, "Is that the Barbarigo man you mentioned who leans toward assassins? Are you sure he can be trusted?"

"I'm sure, come with me first."

Antonio guided Lu Xiao to his office, and the first thing that caught Lu Xiao's attention was a rather delicately made woodcarving model of the San Marco district.

Antonio said proudly: "This is a scale model that took me several years to make, and it should be able to play a role in your next actions."

Lu Xiao shook her head and said, "Even if you fully understand the structure of the San Marco district, if you can't enter the Governor's Palace, you can't tell Mocenigo about our goals and the conspiracy of the Templars."

"On the contrary, the Templars can use the connections of the Barbarigo family in the officialdom to unscrupulously indoctrinate the governor with harmful words about assassins, which is very detrimental to us."

Teodora reassured softly: "Don't worry too much. Although Governor Mocenigo was forced by the power of the Barbarigo family and granted them a lot of privileges, he is not incompetent."

"It's almost impossible for Mocenigo to declare martial law with great fanfare based on the words of Carlo's family alone. Marco underestimates the governor too much."

Bartolomeo added in a gruff voice: "At this point, we can only take the way of breaking the boat."

"My mercenaries and Antonio's thieves will help you distract the guards outside the Governor's Palace. Whether you can bypass the heavy defenses inside the Governor's Palace and reach Mocenigo depends on your performance."

"Lu, go on."

Antonio threw a small bag of light and unidentified objects to Lu Xiao. When he took it, Lu Xiao smelled a trace of plant fragrance from the small bag.

"This is the evidence we took advantage of the riots from Emilio's cargo warehouse at the pier and handed it over to Governor Mocenigo for testing. His relevant professional consultants will prove the use of these herbs for us."

"and also."

Teodora handed Lu Xiao a volume of information: "This is the list of smuggled goods recorded by my girls after overhearing the conversation between Emilio and Silvio. It should also be able to persuade Mocenigo to add Some chips."

Lu Xiao sighed: "It seems that I can't do it if I don't go, but Antonio"

"I know."

Antonio smiled understandingly: "My thieves have already searched for information on the assassin's tomb and most of Altaïr's scattered letters."

"Now you concentrate on dealing with the current crisis first, and when this commotion ends, I will give you all the information you want."
